Currently, when our driver becomes idle for i915.pc8_timeout (default: 5s) we enable PC8, so we save some power, but not everything we can. Then, while PC8 is enabled, if we stay idle for more autosuspend_delay_ms (default: 10s) we'll enter runtime PM and put the graphics device in D3 state, saving even more power. The two features are separate things with increasing levels of power savings, but if we disable PC8 we'll never get into D3. While from the modularity point of view it would be nice to keep these features as separate, we have reasons to merge them: - We are not aware of anybody wanting a "PC8 without D3" environment. - If we keep both features as separate, we'll have to to test both PC8 and PC8+D3 code paths. We're already having a major pain to make QA do automated testing of just one thing, testing both paths will cost even more. - Only Haswell+ supports PC8, so if we want to add runtime PM support to, for example, IVB, we'll have to copy some code from the PC8 feature to runtime PM, so merging both features as a single thing will make it easier for enabling runtime PM on other platforms. This patch only does the very basic steps required to have PC8 and runtime PM merged on a single feature: the next patches will take care of cleaning up everything. v2: - Rebase. v3: - Rebase. - Fully remove the deprecated i915 params since Daniel doesn't consider them as part of the ABI. v4: - Rebase. - Fix typo in the commit message. v5: - Rebase, again. - Add a huge comment explaining the different forcewake usage (Chris, Daniel). - Use open-coded forcewake functions (Daniel).

The name 'update_plane' was used both for the primary plane functions in intel_display.c and the sprite/overlay functions in intel_sprite.c. Rename the primary plane functions to 'update_primary_plane' to avoid confusion. On a similar note, intel_display.c already had a function called intel_disable_primary_plane() that programs the hardware to disable a pipe's primary plane. When we hook up primary planes through the DRM plane interface, one of the natural handler names will be intel_primary_plane_disable(), which is very similar. To avoid confusion, rename the existing intel_disable_primary_plane() to intel_disable_primary_hw_plane() to make the two names a little more distinct.

The TP_printk() should never dereference any pointers, because the ring buffer can be read at some unknown time in the future. If a device no longer exists, it can cause a kernel oops. This also makes this event useless when saving the ring buffer in userspaces tools such as perf and trace-cmd. The i915_gem_evict_vm dereferences the vm pointer which may also not exist when the ring buffer is read sometime in the future.

Instead of waiting for device-registration, we now allocate minor-objects during device allocation. The minors are not registered or assigned an ID. This is still postponed to device-registration. While at it, remove the superfluous output-parameter in drm_get_minor(). The reason for this early allocation is to make dev->primary/control/render available atomically. So once the device is alive, all of them are already set and we never have the situation where one of them is set after another (they're either NULL or set, but never changed). This will eventually allow us to reduce minor-ID allocation to one base-ID instead of a single ID for each.

Lets not trick ourselves into thinking "drm_device" objects are not ref-counted. That's just utterly stupid. We manage "drm_minor" objects on each drm-device and each minor can have an unlimited number of open handles. Each of these handles has the drm_minor (and thus the drm_device) as private-data in the file-handle. Therefore, we may not destroy "drm_device" until all these handles are closed. It is *not* possible to reset all these pointers atomically and restrict access to them, and this is *not* how this is done! Instead, we use ref-counts to make sure the object is valid and not freed. Note that we currently use "dev->open_count" for that, which is *exactly* the same as a reference-count, just open coded. So this patch doesn't change any semantics on DRM devices (well, this patch just introduces the ref-count, anyway. Follow-up patches will replace open_count by it). Also note that generic VFS revoke support could allow us to drop this ref-count again. We could then just synchronously disable any fops->xy() calls. However, this is not the case, yet, and no such patches are in sight (and I seriously question the idea of dropping the ref-cnt again). Signed-off-by: NDavid Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com>

DRM drivers share a common address_space across all character-devices of a single DRM device. This allows simple buffer eviction and mapping-control. However, DRM core currently waits for the first ->open() on any char-dev to mark the underlying inode as backing inode of the device. This delayed initialization causes ugly conditions all over the place: if (dev->dev_mapping) do_sth(); To avoid delayed initialization and to stop reusing the inode of the char-dev, we allocate an anonymous inode for each DRM device and reset filp->f_mapping to it on ->open().

Our current DRM design uses a single address_space for all users of the same DRM device. However, there is no way to create an anonymous address_space without an underlying inode. Therefore, we wait for the first ->open() callback on a registered char-dev and take-over the inode of the char-dev. This worked well so far, but has several drawbacks: - We screw with FS internals and rely on some non-obvious invariants like inode->i_mapping being the same as inode->i_data for char-devs. - We don't have any address_space prior to the first ->open() from user-space. This leads to ugly fallback code and we cannot allocate global objects early. As pointed out by Al-Viro, fs/anon_inode.c is *not* supposed to be used by drivers for anonymous inode-allocation. Therefore, this patch follows the proposed alternative solution and adds a pseudo filesystem mount-point to DRM. We can then allocate private inodes including a private address_space for each DRM device at initialization time. Note that we could use: sysfs_get_inode(sysfs_mnt->mnt_sb, drm_device->dev->kobj.sd); to get access to the underlying sysfs-inode of a "struct device" object. However, most of this information is currently hidden and it's not clear whether this address_space is suitable for driver access. Thus, unless linux allows anonymous address_space objects or driver-core provides a public inode per device, we're left with our own private internal mount point.
